Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter

Проходил олдовую часть с русификатором и влюбился в эту игру с первых диалогов) Для меня trails in the sky лучшая игра в своем жанре - jrpg. Невероятно круто прописанные диалоги, самые интересные персонажи, даже у обычных NPC есть своя история и развитие, говорят, что они потом еще встречаются в других играх и могут тебя узнать или что то вроде этого. 1st я решил пройти и заодно подтянуть английский язык, мой уровень а1 максимум наверное) Учу английский на тренажерах + на этой игре, получается вполне эффективно. Всем советую эту игру, чувствую что залипну в ней на пару сотен часов и это время будет проведено с большим удовольствием.

One of the best game endings ever

ストーリーが良いです。ただし、本作のみでは実質完結しないので、最後まで物語を見届けたい場合は、次作をやる前提になると思います。バトルシステムや装備構成も、結構頭を回す場面があり、楽しめました。NORMALでもそこそこ歯ごたえがあります。

ох как же хорошо

Trails in the Sky 1st chapter has a lot going on. Being completely new to the series I only know it's the first game out of many and it seems like it tries to focus a lot on introducing characters and world building through dialogues, while making you visit places and doing interactions that in the end don't really reveal their function to the plot, at least not just yet. You basically gather information that will probably get you a somewhat big payoff much later. Don't get me wrong, the story for this game is there and defined but get ready to face lots of foreshadowing. The overall feeling of the game is that of a slice of life RPG, extremely lighthearted at its core. While it may sound insensitive towards some subplots, and there are some serious moments here and there, the game never manages to completely shake off the feeling that something impactful will actually never happen. Every RPG has its comfy and epic moments but this game it's just the latter while sometime trying hard for the former, resulting in a bit of awkwardness. As for the characters, while there's a good variety, they just rely too much on familiar anime tropes. Using tropes per se it's not wrong but I feel like you have to develop your characters a bit over that to make the player feel invested more in them and subsequently in the story. Except for one of the protagonist, Estelle (which, I'm sorry, I heavily dislike), there's hardly any of that. Combat is the highlight of the game for me. It has this very original and flexible mechanic of going from real-time action to turn/position based combat. I'm saying flexible because the ideal way to face overworld mobs is that of approaching them using real-time action and then, after gaining advantage, switch instantly to turn based. Bosses are instead always faced using turn based. The turn/position based combat by itself is rather brilliant, it takes a bit of time to get used to but once you do you'll even get the urge to immediately rise the difficulty. Every attack or magic you have has a specific range and additional effects which help you controlling the flow of the battle. Failing to making full use of this and just "attacking" blindly for damage may even make you lose against an enemy with a level lower than yours, a thing rather unusual in a RPG. Not an exaggeration to say the combat carried the whole game for me but in the end the mediocre elements (linearity and tediousness of the overworld map, monsters design being somewhat subpar are two more I didn't mention) were too much for me to leave a good impression over a bad one.

I am now hooked on trails. I loved this game. I am purchasing the 2nd chapter in a few minutes. I would buy this game if I were you.

最高でした！ 原作の知識ゼロでプレイしましが、令和のJRPGとして世界に誇れる完成度です。 ストーリーとしては、新しい街で、新しい仲間と事件を解決する、王道的な冒険物語です。 しかしその繰り返しの中でも魅力的なキャラクターや飽きさせない展開、そして伏線の回収やクライマックスの畳みかけなど、この物語のどこを切り抜いても、全部が楽しかったです。 システムもまさにRPGの完成形で、便利さ・親切さを確保しつつも、決してぬるくはならないちょうどいい塩梅でした。 ファストトラベルやスキップ機能も優秀で、まさにプレイヤーの目線を極限まで考えたストレスフリーな設計と言えると思います。 このゲームで唯一と言っていい残念なところは、釣りが簡素なところです！2ndでは是非、アクションとして釣りを遊びたい！ とにかく最高でした。今から2ndが待ちきれないです！
